ABSTRACT: An experimental and computational study was performed to investigate the role of multi-component intra-NAPL (non-aqueous phase liquid) diffusion on the formation of an interfacial layer which can restrict mass transfer processes from complex multi-component NAPLs subjected to water or chemical oxidants. The results indicated that a combination of NAPL composition and geometry, and interphase mass transfer rate may result in the formation of a high viscosity interfacial layer which can restrict mass transfer. A comparison of experimental and simulated results indicated that processes related to persulfate/NAPL interactions restricted mass transfer, and hence the multi-component mass transfer rate coefficients were ~70 % less than those estimated during an equivalent water flushing period. NAPL interactions can restrict mass loss and chemical oxidation efficiency compared to the no-treatment scenario. Persulfate-NAPL interactions resulted in precipitation and NAPL compositional changes that appear to be the limiting factors.

La comparaison des résultats expérimentaux indique que le processus relié aux interactions persulfate/LPNA réduit le transfert de masse et par conséquent, les coefficients de taux de transfert massifs multi-composants étaient 70 % moins -LPNA conduisent à des précipitations et les changements de composition qui se présentent comme les facteurs limitants.
